Also anyone that buys a single property "as an investment" is a prick that deserves to lose everything and wind up on the streets selling their arse for pennies.
A house is somewhere to live NOT a fucking investment. You're not some property magnate so get a fucking grip.

Still got to be thought about. Fine to buy somewhere nice but if in 5 years time it's at the end of Runway 6 of Heathrow you're a bit stuffed.

Look at Battersea. And Docklands. (Can you tell I don't live in London?) those areas will be fairly cheap, too.
Failing that, accepted advice is the buy the worst property on the best street you can afford. Your house will never be worth more than the rest of the street, so it might as well be the best street you can afford.
And, despite what you might think, by a school is a good idea. It's unlikely to be developed into a chav housing estate, thirteen weeks of the year the place is deserted, and if you're out at work all day you'll miss the bulk of the noise associated with two thousand kids.
Or you could just tell the agent you'll buy the place she gives you he best blowjob in.

the northern line will be going there in a few years at which point prices will go up.
